because I asked too many questions in one and some people with power believe that asking what version of framework should I learn is "Subjective and Argumentative".

I don't want to ask 5 single questions, because I'm scared of being accused of spamming. What should I do? Is that question better for programmers or can it survive on stackoverflow?

P.S. Can I somehow re-post it to make it answerable? I know its "too localized", but I know that my country is like 2 years behind UK and US. So if they are not using .NET 4.0 than I should not even care about it.

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.

ups, bad site. my bad, could you please migate my question to meta? I don't want to repost it, because I hear it can get you banned.

p.s. I voted to close it after reading first comments, because I was hoping it can be migrated to programmers. there should be a badge if you vote to close your own question.

Ask your first question and get the answers to that. Then ask a follow up question.

Repeat until all of your questions are answered.

The answers to the each question may well change what questions you need to ask next, or even if you need to ask the next question at all - so asking them all in one go would be counter productive anyway.

Of course only ask your first question on a particular site if it meets the site's guidelines.

As I explained in the comments to the post in question, the primary issue is not so much that you asked too many questions in one, it's that all of the questions you did ask were "Subjective and Argumentative". The close description that was given seems to fit your question pretty accurately to me:

It's impossible to objectively answer this question; questions of this type are too open ended and usually lead to confrontation and argument.

No one can objectively tell you which languages you should learn, which languages are better than any other languages, or which languages/technologies are the most respected by possible employers. Not only is this information entirely subjective (meaning it depends on one's own personal feelings), but it's highly variable, both temporally and geographically. Any answers that might be given to the question would not be generally useful, and there's no right answer to the question.

And the Frequently Asked Questions for Stack Overflow already provides a good explanation of what types of questions should not be asked:

What kind of questions should I not ask here?

You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page. To prevent your question from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking subjective questions where

every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite __?”

your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use _ for _, what do you use?”

there is no actual problem to be solved: “I’m curious if other people feel like I do.”
-we are being asked an open-ended, hypothetical question: “What if __ happened?”

I still don't get it(those examples did not help). if you are for an example a java programmer and I ask you "should I learn struts or jsf to find a job?". The answer is that from your experience there is a lot more JSF jobs, but there are some maintaince jobs in struts. Why my questions are different?

@01: I don't know. I spend very little time on Programmers, and I honestly have never understood the niche they've carved out for themselves. As with Stack Overflow, I suggest reading the FAQ. And for what it's worth, your Java question is subjective as well. All of the same objections apply equally to it. I'd vote to close that question just as quickly (except that I don't follow the Java tags).

According to your question, I think the first 3 and 5th can be grouped into one single question since they are all related to each other and users can answer them in one single answer.

The 4th question about dynamic programming should be a seperate question I feel.

But finally, the questions are too generic or subjective, since the answers will be finally given as opinions rather than the correct answers. In short, you will probably not get a Correct answer as such for such questions and thats the reason probably it was closed.
